ACC Announced For Europe, June 10

[Tetsujin]

According to Sony Pictures, it'll be released on October 8 in Germany.

 

[Eerie]

It's already out in France

My friend just confirmed that he received his pre-ordered version. I'm asking him about the ending, to know if it's Safe and Sound playing, but bummer he doesn't remember it. I'll let you know moar soon. He received it indeed on June 10th.

Edit: argh, it's not Safe and Sound. Ah well, I expected this but still DX

 

[mentaz]

meh, I still haven't found a release date for my country. I think it's better to wait until I bump into a copy on the video store instead

 

[Eerie]

Haha, I'm thinking I'll wait for a bit before buying it, to see if they're going to re-release this with Safe and Sound

 

[Cthulhu]

Is importing from Japan still an option? Or should we / you just boycott SE en masse for giving us the shit version? .

 

[Shademp]

WHAT?!!!! The European version doesn't have the Safe and Sound song at the end?!

The bullocks is beyond words!

 

[Tetsujin]

While we're at it, let's also demand a true HD version of the movie without the upscale bullshit.

The bullocks is beyond words!

And I saw in a site that it probably won't have the FFXIII demo, it might not be true though...

meh fuck you SE, I'm good with the copy that I have on my computer.

Well some people in the US have got Safe and Sound while others have got Calling. Basically it's a major WOOPS on SE's part. I'd like to think when they release it here in Europe they won't be so careless.

And I saw in a site that it probably won't have the FFXIII demo, it might not be true though...

The US didn't either so I doubt we will. Hopefully we'll still get a trailer though.

 

[mentaz]

Yeah, I think that we'll get a trailer at least it's what the site I saw said.

@Raquelborne: last time I checked, France was still part of Europe. Or something big happened and I'm not aware of this. XD

What is this "upscale" bullshit you speak of? I don't understand.

 

[Eerie]

Upscaling is a technic that will turn the 700+ pixels to be upped to 1000+, making it a fake HD

True HD having the higher resolution without upscaling.

And yet Germany is getting it on the 8th October and here in the UK the release date is still predicted to be around the 27th July.

Since AC had a staggered release all over Europe it's no big surprise the same is being done for ACC.

 

[Eerie]

IMHO, they simply fucked up the international release. Which means, everyone will get Calling

Hopefully not. Afterall, I heard that some Americans did indeed end up with Safe and Sound so perhaps they rectified the problem in copies shipped after the first faulty batch(es) or so.

 

[Eerie]

IDK, last time I checked the thread talking about this, it seemed that no one got S&S on their US copy :/

And beside, it'd mean that they'd still leave the problem in the French copies, even though they were aware of it.

I'll be waiting. I want my S&S in my ACC copy :/

 

[mentaz]

I'll rent it first, then if I the copy has Safe and Sound I'll buy it. No need to spend money on something that I might regret later.

 

[Tetsujin]

What is this "upscale" bullshit you speak of? I don't understand.

I'm talking about the fact that all scenes in ACC that aren't new are just upscaled from the original AC DVD, thereby not making the movie completely HD.

I suspected as much. Yeah that is quite irritating when watching it.
Square gives us alot of good stuff, really, but why do they have to make these screw-ups?

Well I saw on some youtube video comments that people had got Safe and Sound with their US copies... Oh I don't know! I'm buying the disc anyway just so that I can watch the movie in HD on a big screen. It's not like I ever watched music video at the end of the movie anyway.

How can you tell the difference between true HD and upscaling?

 

[Shademp]

How can you tell the difference between true HD and upscaling?

Whenever you see ACC; believe me, you'll see the difference. In true HD (the new scenes) the character models look more "shiny".

 

[paoo]

Whenever you see ACC; believe me, you'll see the difference. In true HD (the new scenes) the character models look more "sexy".

Fixxx'd. :bmonster:

I've watched it in 720p HD and I can deffinitely see a difference. See the Tifa's Looks AC vs ACC topic, I've compared pictures from the DVD and the HD version and the image looks way better.

 

[Eerie]

720p isn't true HD though. XD You have to reach 1000+ pixels to obtain true HD.
